You might well be right. The nature of brexit has made us all stereotypes. Even caricatures of ourselves.

A useful side effect of Brexit is how it has prompted some people to drop their usual and reserve and politeness and to tell everyone just what they think of people who don't agree with them on the matter.
In Brexit veritas.

I could say you would have imagined it, but it's probably more accurate to say that you believed the allegation because of your own confirmation bias:

Well the way the hat was displayed did indeed make it look taller and darker. Accidental or deliberate we shall never know. Gavin Williamson was shown next to a picture of the Kremlin for an entirely different reason. The graphic is a mock up.
the economic cost of Brexit has already hit 130 billion pounds ($170 billion), with a further 70 billion pounds set to be added by the end of this year.

Brexit is, or shortly will be, a decision made by our elected parliament. If the people don't like the consequences they can elect different people as their MPs. But not for 5 years as they've just elected a party to power which stood on the slogan of 'Get Brexit Done'. Democracy in action.
